Conflicting values and ambivalent feelings about abortion make it hard for women (and couples) to reach and live with decisions in the context of your overall life experiences, expectations, and systems of values and beliefs. There is no decision that is free of pain or loss. Additionally, women's feelings about abortion experiences tend to change over time, especially as they are exposed to additional reproductive experiences such as future pregnancies or pregnancy loss. Therapy can help:

Attend to the emotional, interpersonal, and rational components of decision making under stress.

Understand your abortion decision from the wider perspective of your overall life experiences and love belief system
